A review by charlonka
Outside Looking In by T.C. Boyle
2.0
This novel is not exactly a bad trip, but definitely not a peak experience, either.
I expected to like this a lot, maybe that is why it left me feeling so frustrated.
There were some entertaining and interesting parts (and it really was fun to essentially read fan fiction about characters I have encountered during my studies), but the plot is so unnecessarily slow and repetitive that I did not care for any of the characters and found it difficult to find the motivation to keep reading. Half way through, I gave up on trying to find it.
